A statement issued yesterday by the Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the President, Garba Shehu, said that “at the end of the presentation he made on Monday, the G7 leaders said to him that they recognised the President’s massive amount of confidence and expectations behind his government.

“They acknowledged him as having emerged from an election adjudged to be the freest in the country’s electoral history, but regretted the severe handicaps his new government has to face from the outset.

“They told President Buhari that they took cognizance of the fact of the several handicaps, including the lack of resources, leaving him with a government over-stretched in capacity, itself riddled with mismanagement.

“The G-7 also noted that the country’s army lacked training and equipment with little or no will to engage.

“In recognition of the fact that the security threat of the Boko Haram had gone beyond Nigeria, equally affecting other countries in the region, the G7 conceded that no one country can tackle it alone.

“They expressed warm sentiments towards the Nigerian leader and praised him for reaching out to the country’s neighbours and the group of industrialised nations within a week of his takeover of government.

“In view of the seriousness he has shown in tacking this problem, the group pledged that they would “engage, cooperate and collaborate” with President Buhari’s government in tackling the serious problems that Nigeria faces.

“They left it to President Buhari to come up with the specifics on his requirements, assuring that they would study the requirements either individually or collectively and offer help.

 They asked to know the nature and the scale of the problems in order to know the nature and the scale of the assistance they will provide. Suffice it to say that they assured President Buhari that ‘Nigeria will find a partner in the G7.”

 Buhari, who had the privilege of being the first to address the G7 among the invited presidents and prime ministers, was warmly received at the summit. He returned to Nigeria in the early hours of yesterday.

Alibaba has taken to his Instagram page to vent his anger and frustration at the Nigerian government and how they ruined the countries tourism sector with their ‘Oil share syndrome and politics’.

According to him,

‘With all the resources, land, water, people, natural privileges, it’s a huge shame not to be on this list! Thanks to crude oil and stupid leaders! Allshare syndrome of the oil share has killed our economy and development in all sectors. Politics is the only vibrant sector.

 Thieves! And when the stakeholders have golden opportunities to ask vital questions that will grow the sector, they will be lapping up handouts and avoiding the vitals. 

What is Desert Safari? The sand, the ride, the sunset, the Falcon show, the pictures, the camels, the belly dancer, the horrible dinner, 5000 Dhs X 5m people…

 Year in year out! Is it the boat cruise? The malls? The water fountain musicals?… It’s so annoying… How dollar go come down?’

The senators were gathered at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Fifteen into the meeting, the clerk of the National Assembly, conducted the election and subsequently swore Senator Bukola Saraki in as the Eighth Senate President.

Saraki, discharged his first duty as the new Seanate President by administering the oath of office and allegiance on the 75 senators that were in attendance. APC senators were led by Ahmad Lawan to take their oath of office.

According to protocol, every senator after swearing in is expected, to present a copy of their certificate to the senate president and in turn, shake hands with him.

There is speculation that all has not been going well financially for the singer since he left Don Jazzy, even with the international recognition he has since received.

However, in a bid to celebrate his birthday in style, D’banj, who just returned from Mauritius alongside Timaya and Banky W, will be having a local celebration as he plans to go down to a local eatery popularly known as ‘buka’ in Mushin suburb of Lagos to wine and dine with his fans.

The Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, Dr. Paul Orhii, has declared the consumption of Ogogoro ss unsafe.
He told journalists that the recent incidents in Rivers and Ondo states were associated with the consumption of locally made gin.

The government however confirmed that the death toll in Rivers State had risen to 38 while 18 people had died in Ode-Irele, Ondo State, following the consumption of the local gin.

According to him, considering the risk in the consumption of locally made gin, it has become imperative to “warn the public to desist from the consumption of unregistered locally made spirits (Ogogoro) and other unregistered bitters.”

He also warned that the government “would confiscate all illegally brewed alcoholic beverages” across the country.

Orhii, who also recommended “immediate reporting and evacuation of victims to the nearest tertiary health institution as quick intervention can save lives,” said the NAFDAC team met with the Ondo State Commissioner for Health and Director of Diagnostic Services and an official of the World Health Organisation, who visited Ode-Irele to obtain first-hand information.

He also said, “A preliminary investigation by the National Centre for Disease Control and WHO, ruled out any infectious diseases and confirmed the possibility of poisoning as the cause, and in turn, advised NAFDAC to conduct further investigation.

“The symptoms suffered by victims included vomiting, abdominal pain, blurred vision, headache, dizziness and loss of consciousness with subsequent sudden deaths of 18 victims.”

Orhii, who was joined by the Director of NCDC, Prof. Abdulrahman Nasidi, explained that all indications showed that “these symptoms are the hallmark signs of methanol poisoning.”

“The results of the laboratory investigation revealed methanol toxicity. Five samples were found to contain high concentration of methanol in them. Blood methanol concentration above 1500-2000mg/L will certainly lead to death in untreated patients,” the NAFDAC DG said

Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, D’banj also popularly known as the Kokomaster is 35 today!
Born on June 9, 1980, the entertainer hasn’t had a very rosy career after his separation from Don Jazzy but will however be throwing a birthday party today.

He has been favoured in recent times with both national and international endorsements but still working to rebuild his career.

However, in terms of international collaboration, D’banj has not been doing badly either as he had done collaborations with Snoop Dogg and Kanye West.

During the weekend, D’banj had a pre-birthday party in South Africa and promised that today’s celebration will be ‘fire.’

Celebrating in style, D’banj, who just returned from Mauritius alongside Timaya and Banky W will be having a local celebration as he plans to go down to a local eatery popularly known as ‘buka’ in Mushin, suburb of Lagos to wine and dine with his fans.

The self-acclaimed Africa P.Diddy, Michael Jackson and Jay Z has however put behind him the stories of his being broke.

Ice Cube’s getting N.W.A. back together for one huge show in Los Angeles later this month. He’ll reunite with MC Ren and DJ Yella to perform tracks from Straight Outta Compton at the BET Experience show at the Staples Center on June 27th, he revelead to Rolling Stone in a recent interview.

He told Rolling Stone that Dr. Dre isn’t scheduled to participate in the reunion, but “you never know.” If he does, it will be the first time all surviving members have performed together as N.W.A. in 26 years.

“It’s like, I hope he blesses us with his presence,” Ice Cube said. “But if not, I’ve been rockin’ for a long time without anybody. So whoever shows up, I’m still gonna rock. Whoever don’t show up, we still gonna rock.” The band’s fifth member, Eazy-E, died in 1995.

Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Schoolboy Q, Miguel and Nicki Minaj are also slated to perform during the BET Experience, which runs from June 25-28.

Ice Cube alos hinted that the group may be working on new music for the soundtrack to Straight Outta Compton, the biopic about N.W.A. due out Aug. 14. “We’re definitely dibbling and dabbling, so to speak,” he said.

The film stars Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. as Cube, and Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre.

”You’ll get the sex, drugs, and rock & roll that go with a music biopic, but we go beyond the surface,” director F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job) told EW. “While there is a lot of very specific talk about pushing back against the system and delving into street culture, these guys had lives outside of that.”

Award winning Nigerian movie actor, Ramsey Nouah, has explained the bias behind the emergence of ‘New Nollywood’ which he is presenting championing.

The movement, which is seen as a move to uplift Nollywood, is reportedly set up to get rid of cliches and bring in innovative measures to boost the image of the Nigerian movie industry, popularly called Nollywood, locally and internationally.

According to THISDAY, the ’30 Days in Atlanta’ star, who doubles as Nollywood lover boy, quashed reports which surfaced about the movie industry breaking into factions as the name of his movement suggests.

Many have questioned if the ‘New Nollywood’ is another faction of the internally multi-faceted industry, but Ramsey explained it thus:

“It’s actually one Nollywood. We are just saying that we want to fly a new Nollywood. There is nothing like New Nollywood. It’s just an encouraging word that says, ‘I’ll rather than this industry crash take it to a higher level, even if I have to starve.’ It’s just an expression.

“New Nollywood is actually cinema. But that’s not what it really is. They call it that but cinema productions are more capital-intensive than the cheap DVDs. And that’s what most of them want, to keep the industry at that DVD level,” the fair-skinned business administration student explained.

A 70-year-old man, Isa Hussaini, who has allegedly been stealing for over 15 years has been arraigned before an Upper Customary Court in Sabongari, Kaduna state for goat theft.

 According to NAN , Hussaini is facing a one-count charge of theft.

Abdullahi said the accused was found in possession of the stolen goat on June 2, adding that when he was challenged, he confessed to have stolen it. The prosecutor said the offence is contrary to section 319(a) of the penal code.

Meanwhile, the accused person also confessed that he had spent 15 years in stealing business.

He said: “I started this ugly job 15 years ago and I started by stealing maize and later started stealing goats because I sell beef kebab. I steal to feed my two wives and six children.”
Hussaini pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him. The Judge Atiku Sarki-Yohanam, granted him bail in the sum of N30,000 and one surety in like sum.

The case was adjourned to June 11, for further hearing.

Pregnancy diet plan has to be different from other standard diet plans, meaning that pregnant women have to be very careful about what they eat in order not to gain too much extra weight. Pregnant women have to consume food rich in nutrients and to be aware the fact that pregnancy diet plan affects both their health and the development of the baby.

Extremely important for your health is knowing what you eat!

For the baby’s development are very important many nutritive substances, such as: iodine, iron, zinc, folic acid and unsaturated fatty acids. These essential substances have to take part of the daily menu of a pregnant woman.

Women who want to have a baby or are already pregnant have to know the main principles of a healthy pregnancy diet plan.

These are 7 essential advice which avoid having negative effects from a diet plan and which can be adapted to your needs:

    Choose a varied diet plan. There is no one single product which can contain the 60 essential nutritive substances. If your pregnancy diet plan is varied, then the advantages of a healthy diet are bigger.

    Consume only whole wheat bread because it contains 3 or 5 times more minerals than white wheat bread. It is richer in fiber, vitamins and minerals.

    Consume a double quantity of iron. Pregnant woman has to consume twice a day low-fat meat. It is advisable to consume fruit and vegetables with every meal, every day, because they contain the necessary quantity of C vitamin, which ensures a good assimilation of iron. Consuming minimum 1 kg of fruit and vegetables per day can provide essential vitamins and minerals.

    Fish is extremely important because it is an excellent source of healthy proteins, necessary during pregnancy diet plan.

    Vegetal oils for salads – at least one spoon per day. Unsaturated fatty acids from its composition are irreplaceable for a better and normal development of a pregnancy.

    Increase milk and dairy consumption. They are very important during pregnancy diet for the mother and the baby, too. Dairies contain B2 and B12 vitamins, complete proteins and calcium. Consuming low-fat dairies pregnant women can maintain under control their weight.

    Do not consume alcohol, reduce the consumption of black coffee and do not smoke while you are pregnant. These habits increase the risk of malformations and miscarriage.

Music titan Terry G clocked 29 some days back. Born as Gabriel Oche Amanyi at the Food Basket Of The Nation, Benue state on March 17th 1986. Gabriel might not go down as a music legend but his impact in the music industry is second to not many people.
He successfully carved a different niche for himself and his sound is like no other in the music industry. Terry G is also very talented. He produces, writes, singes, directs and even plays several music instrument. Not many new school artistes can do half of the things he does.

 His sounds are for the street, 100% but over the time those who don’t belong there have been able to relate to his uptempo and often “spiritual” songs.

We look at 5 of his many street bangers that stand out. Love U Sexy: Not a hit as compared to the other songs on this list, but it is the song that put Mr. Terry G on the map so it will be unfair to leave it out of this glorious list.

 He featured Ayzee on the record which had one of the best videos at that time when it was released. The video was shot in South Africa, which remains Terry G’s second home when it comes to shooting music videos.

Mofe and his wife-to-be took to their Instagram pages this morning to announce their forthcoming wedding.

While Mofe shared ‘#Coming Soon #August2015’on his page, Jessica betrayed her anxiety sharing a popular biblical quotation about marriage, ‘We are nearly there…He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtaineth Favor from the Lord..#PoseToBe #ComingSoon #August2015 #MrandMrs#BeABoss #DateABoss #BuildAnEmpire #Anticipate #WaitForIt’

Do not ignore these seven symptoms! Believe it or not, a heart attack will not come without warning. It will announce itself weeks and days before the actual impact happens.
People often ignore the symptoms because they do not consider them as very risky. Symptoms that precede a heart attack are different in men and women. As many as 95% of women who experienced a heart attack, had warning symptoms months and weeks before the heart attack.

Snoring
If you have a limited flow of air into the chest during a night’s sleep, your heart is in danger. People who have breathing problems during their sleep and have breathing pauses for a few short moments are three times more likely to have a heart attack in the next five years.

Gums Problems
Visit your dentist if you have swollen, inflamed or bleeding gums. These symptoms can also be an early sign of  having heart problems. Most people do not take proper care of their gums. Even if they are swollen or painful, most people think that the pain will just go away.

Some studies have shown the connection between bacteria that results from gingivitis and plaque and heart problems occurrence.

Swollen feet
In case your feet joints are too swollen, you probably have problem with fluid retention in the body, which can be an early sign of heart disease. It occurs when your heart does not pump strongly enough, and as a result of that, the blood does not purify the toxic elements from the tissues. This condition is called edema, and usually occurs in the feet, toes, arms and legs.
 
Irregular Heartbeats
Irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, is a feeling when your heart beats too fast, pounding too hard or even skips a beat.

Pain In The Chest  Or Shoulders
The commonest symptom of an unhealthy heart is angina pectoris. This type of chest pain is not the same as the sharp pain that occurs along with the heart attack. In fact, this one is a serious or deep chest pain and it is getting worse with every breath.

This pain is often misdiagnosed with heartburn or pain in the lower part of the abdomen. Anyway, it occurs due  to the heart’s  lack of blood because of the plaque and working under pressure. This condition can become worse  by experiencing  stress and  also by exercising.

Wheezing
Wheezing can indicate several diseases as an early sign of heart or lung disease. Symptoms include problems with the chest and lungs, inability of inhaling deeply as well as shortness of breath.

Erectile Dysfunction
People with erectile dysfunction are more likely to suffer from heart problems. Arteries, in patients with heart diseases, become narrow and restrict blood flow to the genitalia.

Buhari on the verge of wasting Nigeria’s resources – President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday left Nigeria to attend the G7 Summit which begins in Bavaria, Germany on Sunday.

According to a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, the Nigerian president was accompanied by Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, former Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, and former Chief of Army Staff, Abdulrahman Dambazau and other officials.

Meanwhile, concerned Nigerian have begun to react to Fashola’s presence in the President’s entourage to the G7 Summit describing it as “illegal” and a “waste of resources.” 

Speaking to BREAKING TIMES on Sunday, Deji Adeyanju, a public affairs commentator said that Fashola had no basis accompanying the President on this official trip.

 “Fashola is travelling with Buhari at the expense of taxpayers’ money. 

He is not a government official. Why is he on this trip with Buhari to the G7 Summit? In what capacity is he representing Nigeria? He is not the one we elected to govern us and there is no official communication from the President stating that he has been appointed in any capacity whatsoever.

So he is on that trip as a private citizen. Is this not tantamount to government waste?”, he queried. Spokesman to President Buhari, Garba Shehu had stated on Saturday that Mr. Buhari was invited to the G7 summit before he was sworn into office. 

“The invitation is a clear indication of the international community’s willingness to cooperate with the new government of Nigeria,” he said. He added that President Buhari would not be participating in the main meetings, since Nigeria is not a member of the G7 group. 

“He is in a group of seven other Heads of State who were called in as guests. He will equally be holding key side meetings with some of the seven Heads of State who will be convened at the summit. “The international community is obviously acknowledging Nigeria’s significant role in global affairs,” Mr. Garba said, “especially with the recent change in government.”

As for his elimination in Paris, the player assured that he lacked the "necessary confidence". "I don't have to worry about that so much now. Novak was better than me", said the world number 10.

Nadal, who is the top seed for the tournament in Stuttgart, which is being held on grass for the first time, said that he cannot think about winning the title yet.

"It's not the time to be thinking about titles. The first week on grass after a year without playing on grass is always tough. But I'll do the best I can", said the Spanish ace, who was the champion in Stuttgart on clay in 2006 and 2007.
